you. you as a person, let's see. you were caring. you were kind and you put others above yourself. you were selfless. you were daring and a little eccentric. in the most beautiful way. you were the type of person to tie two broken pieces together. if someone was in trouble with themselves, you were the person they went to.

although, in the process of helping, you managed to lose yourself. how about you? when was the last time someone asked about your well being? you would've lied anyway. said you were okay. you knew you weren't.

when other people would call your actions to be generosity, you considered it selfish. it was. you didn't care for other people that much because you wanted THEM to get better. you wanted to convince your rotten soul that you were still a good person. that you deserved happiness. your actions, to yourself, were considered anything but selfless.

you were flawed, and so stepped on. but it was fine, right? totally. you didn't pull at your hair on the bathroom floor while you were sobbing your eyes out. you didn't continuously pull at the skin around your nails as you were conversing with someone new, making sure they would perceive you as a good person. that they won't turn around and start pointing out your negative traits. your flaws.

tendou was the same. the way that people had mistreated him, gained him a habit of trying to be perceived as true. he was weird, but in the way people liked. now he's drained from it. he has flattened out, and lost the strength to have to be strong for other people. he turned into a burden no one wanted to carry.

"tendou i'm going to move out." tendou's hand stopped its movement of trying to put the spoon full of milk and cereal into his mouth. his eyes had widened, and his head throbbed a little as he knew the source of reasoning.

semi had been his roommate ever since college started. despite tendou dropping out due to severe mental issues, semi decided to stay by his side. semi had helped provide for the pale man. keeping him company.

found him on the floor of the bathroom at 04.01 am.

now semi was leaning his back against the wall in the kitchen where tendou was enjoying his breakfast. "i'm sorry tendou. i got gigs and a band now, i have to travel around the country and i can't be with you all the time to take care of you."

oh. so it was merely a pitiful act.

"It's okay semi semi. i understand. thank you for everything." truly. truly for everything.

for semi was the last person to be there for tendou. semi was the last one from the volleyball team. his only friend group, his last source of happiness, that hasn't given up on him. but just like a lot of things.
